1 Corinthians 15: ³I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. That part is: Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say. ⁴He was buried, and three days later he was raised to life, as the Scriptures say. ⁵Christ appeared to then to the twelve. ⁶After this, he appeared to more than five hundred other followers. Most of them are still alive, but some have died. ⁷He also appeared to James, and then to all of the apostles. ⁸Finally, he appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time..(CEV)
1. Why are the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus all very important to our lives?

1 Corinthians 15: ⁵⁴The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true, "Death has lost the battle! ⁵⁵Where is its victory? Where is its sting?" ⁵⁶Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin. ⁵⁷But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory! (CEV)
2. How does Christ's Life affect you on a daily basis?

1 John 3: ²My dear friends, we are already God's children, though what we will be hasn't yet been seen. But we do know that when Christ returns, we will be like him, because we will see him as he truly is. ³This hope makes us keep ourselves holy, just as Christ is holy. 1 John 4:¹⁷If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won't be worried about the day of judgment. ¹⁸A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love. (CEV)
3. Describe how the hope of resurrection comforts you.

1 John 5: ¹If we believe that Jesus is truly Christ, we are God's children. Everyone who loves the Father will also love his children. ²If we love and obey God, we know that we will love his children. ³We show our love for God by obeying his commandments, and they are not hard to follow. ⁴Every child of God can defeat the world, and our faith is what gives us this victory. ⁵No one can defeat the world without having faith in Jesus as the Son of God. (CEV)
4. What are three things or persons that witness to Jesus Christ?

1 Peter 2: ²¹After all, God chose you to suffer as you follow in the footsteps of Christ, who set an example by suffering for you.... ²⁴Christ carried the burden of our sins. He was nailed to the cross, so that we would stop sinning and start living right. By his cuts and bruises you are healed. ²⁵You had wandered away like sheep. Now you have returned to the one who is your shepherd and protector. 2 Peter 1: ³We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learned that he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness. ⁴God made great and marvelous promises, so that his nature would become part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world. (CEV)
5. How does Jesus' example help you face hardship and what is "everything we need" for life?
